Travelers who do not conduct a pre-travel PCR test must have a Rapid Antigen Test at an authorized medical center within 24 hours of arrival in Qatar. Travelers with pre-travel PCR tests are exempted from a Rapid Antigen Test post their arrival.

The changes aim to bring about smooth entry into Qatar for all travelers while protecting Qatar's population from COVID-19 through the swift implementation of certain health checks on travelers entering the country.

All travellers must adhere to downloading and activating the Ehteraz app in order to acquire entery to public places in Qatar, stated the Ministry.
